You probably need JP Language packs installed for everything here to display correctly. You can see full lists of stuff we plan to release sometime here: Serious // Funny. When we feel there are enough videos, we’ll make a batch torrent for them.

Comedy MADs

Squartatore (Blunt) is a reference to the PSP game. Bottom right = Squartatore

It’s Italian, and according to Google-sensei translates to “rip”. Jack lo squartatore = Jack the Ripper. In any case it means something like “ripping things to shreds.”

The ボッシュート(bosshuuto) thing is from a Japanese variety show. It basically means to descend through the floor/stage/whatever. This is the only video on youtube I can find of the original, but you probably get the idea. Btw, ボッシュート is a combination of 没収(bosshu – forfeiture; seizure; confiscation; impounding) and ダストシュート(dust chute).

You guys probably know what どや(doya) means by now if you’ve watched other stuff.

日本語でおｋ(Nihongo de ok // Japanese is OK) is an internet thing. Whenever there are comments/posts in a foreign language (or just such bad/jumbled Japanese that it’s hardly legible), it is said. As for what Madoka-chan is saying in runes here, it’s the same as the actual scene. “Sayaka-chan? Stop, already! It’s Madoka!”The runes here say “madomado-”.

どや(doya) = “How’s that?”/“How am I doing?”

ざまぁあああｗｗｗｗｗｗ (Zamaaaaa) could be described as a word used to laugh at another person’s misforturne.

“M” stands for “Masochist”. The Japanese @ :43, 「すごく大きい・・・」(Sugoku Okii… // Really big…) sounds a little bit like “Sugoku ureshii” (really happy), and it was a comment on nico that made me laugh so I put it in the script. That’s a reference to kusomiso technique, if you’re oldschool & cool then you know it, if you’re not, then google it.

NTR is an abbreviation of 寝取られ(netorare – to steal another’s wife) which is a term born from galge in which the main heroine gets stolen away from you. A lot of people are into this kind of thing as a fetish, so being labelled as “NTR” usually implies that you’re enjoying watching/thinking about your previous lover now with another partner.

The ざまぁあああｗｗｗｗｗｗ (Zamaaaaa) at the end (when QB gets owned) is an internet thing, I’d liberally translate it as “That’s what you get!” or something like that. Nico dictionary describes it like this: 「他人の失敗を嘲る語である。」(It is a word used to laugh at another person’s misforturne). This is a comment people spammed on this part of the video in the original, and it felt too empty to me without it there in some form. 肉(niku), which appears on QB’s forehead, means meat.

The end of this video, the 食うかい(Kuukai – Would you like to eat? // Want a bite?), the “kuu” part of that could also be written as 空(air), so Kyouko is all like “Want some air?” Best pun. Also, 空海(Kuukai) is a famous person.

The first one, mami’s thing. Gave it lots of thought, still can’t find the singer. Who sang it? Seemed pretty damn good to be fan dubbed.

Also, not sure what the ‘lantern’ refers to, and why is she saying farewell? Any luck finding the context of this?

The vocalist is named "Hatsune Miku", you may have heard of her.

灯り (あかり/Akari, translated as "Lantern") in this song has a metaphorical meaning of being a bright spot in darkness. The first line it comes up in, "the light of this lantern was faintly shining" is as if to say that Mami-san herself was able to glow a little bit because of Madoka's companionship. The "Thank you for this lantern" is Mami-san thanking Madoka for the "light" of companionship among the "darkness" of being mahou shoujo.

She's saying さよなら(sayonara, "farewell") because this song is directly about her death scene. Oh also, it's probably not related to the song, but my brain tied the whole "lantern" thing to the floating lights in episode 3's Mami-san/Madoka convo scene.

Also that video is pretty good. I should translate some more of these soon.
